The Bible for Woman Suffrage.

Opponents of woman suffrage gen
orally go back as far as Genesis fol
arguments, but even they do not e
back far enough. They stop with {
true account of the false relation int
which man and woman were thrown
by sin. and quote this account as thu
original charter for mankind: "Thy
desire shall be to thy husband and hi
shall rule over thee" If they will
only 60 back to the creation of Adam
and Eve, and to their natural and
divine relation before the fall, they
will fail to find sentence which hints
at the subordination of woman Wo.
man was not made in mans image
neither was the dominion of the world
committed to him alone. On the
contrary, the record plainly says: "In
the image OF God created He
male and female, created He them,
and God said: Let them have do
minion over all the earth.'"
Now when Adam and Eve de-
scended from the sphere of spirituality
to the animal sphere, when they
turned from life of faith to follow
appetite, God said to man that even
nature should rebel against his ami
NAL life: "The earth shall bring forth
thorns and thistles." The history of
every drunkard and man of lust
proves that nature fights against him,
and confirms the prophecy. And God
said to woman that in this lower ami
NAL life with man she would be con-
stantly worsted: "Thy desire shall be
to thy husband and he shall rule over
thee" Six thousand years Of history
have proved the terrible truth of this
prophecy.
And yet this declaration of woman's
ubordination-which does not belong
at all to the account of her original
creation, and which is directly due to
sin, and which we see sprang from the
very nature OF the two and from the
sinful contest on which they then en-
entered-is quoted repeatedly as the
divine declaration of the ideal state of
the sexes, and we are constantly told
that any attempt to change it is vio-
lation of the divine constitution. As
well might one declare that the thorns
and briers which God said the earth
should bring forth, on account OF
mans sin, are an expression OF the
ideal attitude of nature toward man,
and that we violate the divine consti-
tuition in tilling the soil and improv-
ing its products.
Again, the whole effort Of Christ
was to restore to mankind what was
lost in Adam. "For as in Adam all
die, so in Christ shall all be made
alive" If Christianity is competent
to restore that which was lost in
Adam, how can it stop short of conf
pletely abolishing the subordination
of woman, which the Bible declares to
be the direct result of sin, and of lead
ing us back to that Edenic proclama-
ton: Let them have dominion over
all the earthr-Reu. J. w. Rashtord

The "Winter Of Discomfort"
/ FROM tho Historic American.

| Ln0 1lStOTtC AmcTIC6u.t
During the winter Of 1777-S, Wash
ington went into winter quarters at
Valley Forge. What terrible time
for the hopes of America! In 1776,
he had an army of forty-seven thou
sand men and the nation was exhaust
ed by the great effort. In 1777, it
was less than twenty thousand men.
Women who had once melted their
pewter plates into bullets, could not
do it a second time.
At Valley Forge, within a days
march of the enemy's headquarters,
there were not twelve thousand SOL
diers. That winter they lay on the
ground. So scarce were blankets,
that many were forced to sit up all
night by their fires. At one time,
more than one thousand soldiers had
not a shoe to their feet. You could
trace their march by the blood which
their naked feet left in the ice. At
one time, more than one-fourth of all
the troops there are reported as Gun
fit for duty, because barefoot or other
wise naked" Washington offered a
prize for the best substitute for shoes
made of untanned hides!
Even provisions failed. Once their
was famine in the camp, and Wash
ington must seize provisions, by vio-
lence, or the army would die. He
ordered the Pennsylvania farmers to
thresh out the wheat and sell it to him,
or he would take it and pay them only
for straw. Congress was disheartened.
The men of ability staid at home, and
weaklings took their place. For some
time there was only twenty-one men,
bers, and it was difficult to assemble a
quorum of States for business.
Tories abounded. There were ca
bles against Washington in the army.
Miffiin, Conway, Gates, Pickering,
Schuyler, were hostile; and they
found abundant support in Congress.
Samuel Adams distrusted Washington.
So, too, did John Adams, James
Lowell, of Massachusetts,, and Richard
Henry Lee, of Virginia, were not
more friendly, and far less honor
able.
Within year Washington had lost
New York and its neighborhood-los
Philadelphia and all its strongholds
around it. He had gained but one
victory worth naming-that of Tren-
ton. In the meantime, Burgoyne, an
able soldier, with an admirable army,
had walked into trap on the North
River, and had been taken by Gates
and the Northern army, who were
most of them militia from New Eng
land. 1t is not wonderful that men
doubted, and thought that the selfish,
mean-spirited and loud-talking General
Conway would do better than the
modest Washington to command the
army.
Samuel Adams was persistent for
rotation in Office, that the general
should be hired by the year! If he
had not been possessed of great wealth,
and cared for nothing, think Wash
ington's command had come to an
end before ITS. But Franklin was
on the other side of the sea; with
consummate art, he induced the
French court to favor America con-
tributions of money and arms, and,
after the surrender of Burgoyne, to
acknowledge the independence of the
United States, and to make an open
treaty of alliance, furnishing America
with money and men, artillery and
stores. Then, first, America began to
uplift her dropping head.

Suicide and am Acci-
dent.

Theodore Todd, living in the Upper
Ojai Valley, attempted suicide on last
Tuesday, by shooting himself in the
head. He had been despondent for
some time, owing to some troubles
unknown, and on that day remarked
to friend, Everybody here is down
ON me, and Lbelieve | will leave the
country!" His friend replied: you
talk like crazy man" !" Todd hesi-
tated a moment, and said, 81 believe
| am crazyw He went home, took
his repeating rifle, placed it against
his head and fired, the ball making
only scalp wound. He was in the
act of firing again, when his wife
seized the gun and prevented him. 1t
is thought his troubles, and the fear
that he might become insane, weighed
so heavily upon his mind as to de-
prive him of reason.
On yesterday afternoon Mr.. w. T..
Scott met with very painful accident
while working on the dam about one

when his left hand was caught be-
tween the scraper and some rocks,
severely crushing the hand. He was
taken to DR.. Motifs office, and the
wound dressed by Drs. Mott and Cap
per. 1t was found that the second, or
large, finger of the left hand was so
badly crushed that it was necessary to
amputate the first joint, after which
the wound was sewed and bandaged,
and the patient is resting more COM

Handouts Worn by John Brown

Mr.. John c.. Comfort, of Harris
burg, has added to his large, interest
ing and valuable collection OF relics OF
the rebellion several objects which for
historical value and interest it would
be difficult to equal. These objects
are first the handouts worn by John
Brown, of Ossawattomie, the hero of
Harper's Ferry, when he was hanged
in Charlestown, Va, on December 2,
1859, and second, two triangular pigs
of lead, which were buried by Brown
near the mouth of the cave which he
made his rendezvous and hiding place
on the Maryland side of the Potomac
river, opposite Harper's Ferry, and
from which place he made his descent
on the arsenal, which resulted in the
capturing of the building and his
own overthrow, the slaughter OF his
sons and his trial, condemnation and
execution. This lead was found
where it had lain for thirty years, by
little girl, Florence May Thompson,
while digging for daisy roots. En-
countering the metal while digging,
she called attention to her discovery,
further search was made, and three
pigs of lead, weighing $50 pounds,
were unearthed. OF these, two pigs
have been obtained by Mr.. Comfort.
1t is thought Ossawattomie obtained
the lead in the mines in Missouri (;
that it was run in rude molds made in
the sand and transported thence to
the cave, to be used in the operations
against Harper's Ferry.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1887-08-29

The handouts which Mr.. Comfort
has added to his collection were OBJ
tained at the time of the execution of
Osawattomie by Virginian, who be-
queathed them to his daughter. She
had frequently been offered $500 for
them, as is stated in the correspond
ence Mr.. Comfort has about them, but
always refused to sell, but finally she
yielded, however, and Mr.. Comfort
obtained the coveted prize. They are
of iron, stoutly and clumsily made,
and covered with rust. They are
connected with swivel and two
links, and locked with screw bolt.
AS compared with cuffs OF the present
day they are OF the most primitive
character, though doubtles as effective
for the purpose intended as the more
modern bracelets. ~ Chicago Times.

Dangerous Delay.

The delay in accepting the PROPOSE
ton of the proprietors of the Sausal Re-
dondo to receive and care for the sewage
of the city may prove dangerous. The
matter has been set forth fer two months
in all its phases of importance and
profit to the city, but nothing has been
done by the City Council to consider
that proposition or any other plan to
get rid OF an ever increasing sewage.
In a short time Los Angeles will have
a population of 100000 people and
the sewage must be taken care of with
wisdom and thoroughness. All cess
pools and dry sewers must be abol-
ished and complete sewerage estab-
lished all over the city. Owing to the
rapid advance in the value OF land
near the seashore it is not likely that
the owners of land in that locality
will much longer hold open their most
advantageous offer to the city to pool
their land at 800 per acre when they
can sell it for more and have done
with it.
BY the offer of the Sausal Redondo
company the city would make more
money than the conduit to the sea
would cost. The town of Santa Ana
has decided to sewer the city. Pasa-
dena is at work sewering the city and
caring for the sewage while the City
Council of Los Angeles is idle in the
matter, and allows the city to be sur
rounded with little towns through
which conduit cannot pass, leaving
the city "bottled up"
Then there was another matter be-
fore the City Council to extend the
Main street sewer up through Sonora
town from Arcadia street. AS the
principal street is soon to be paved
and cable road laid thereon, it is
time the sewer should be extended
There is no time to lose in this mat
ter. The cable road will soon be made
the work of paving the street must &C

forever. is imperative. Why this lone
delay? This sewer in Main street ano
| in Sonoratown was recommended II
June last. Will it ever be done
Will it ever be begun? 1t il
but a few weeks before rains may
fall and the work OF improvement may
be hindered. The city should not hin
der the work of paving the street by
neglecting to put down sewers in ad
vance of the PAYERS.
